Artist Statement
The joy of living is about delighting in something. Aside from the obvious - family and friends - my most delightful delight is color. I am addicted to color and I embrace it. Color is my drug, my drink, my spiritual food and my passion. From a very young age, color has enchanted me. Like a great story, color pulls me in. It makes me curious and restless.
I think of my work as a dance, where my hand, the surface and the pigment flow together. Each lush, bold color and line engages my emotions and allows the viewer to experience the feeling of a moment. Color, line and I are inseparably bound. In bold color I am fully engaged, passionate and above all, delighted.
